JUNK's own baseball diehard Dave Franks got to have an intimate chat with pro MLB player Cavan Biggio to get down to the nitty-gritty of all things baseball and what it means to be a pro baller. They cover topics that range from balancing work/home life to what it was like coming up in the industry and the work that goes into achieving a spot in the MLB. There are three episodes, and with the kick-off of the MLB season, they're a perfect listen to get in the mood for the game. So sit back, relax, and take a listen to a pro ball discussion.
Jedidiah Snelson started CrossFit to keep himself healthy after a life-changing injury that left him paralyzed in 2014. Now, Jed competes to gain awareness for adaptive athletes around the world. Currently, he's on the road to compete in the 2021 CrossFit Open with hopes of placing himself a spot in the Games.
Marcus Hayward is a former Army Sergeant, physical-therapy assistant, and adaptive athlete who got his start in CrossFit while on deployment in 2007. He's competed at other CrossFit competitions like Wodapalooza and The Working Wounded Games, but this year he'll compete in the CrossFit Open for the first time. JUNK got the chance to ask him a few questions about his personal fitness journey and share the excitement on his road to the Open.
Emma Cary might be a young competitor on the way to the CrossFit Open, but that doesn't mean she is any less determined. She faces each challenge with a full heart, and there's no telling what she'll do in the future, considering how much she has already accomplished. We got a chance to talk with Emma about her fitness journey and goals.
The Wright family is a shining example of the saying, the family that trains together, stays together, they're a fit family whose involvement in CrossFit training and competitions has created a common interest that's brought them closer together. JUNK got the opportunity to ask them some in-depth questions on their personal CrossFit journeys and get some insight on what it means to compete as a family.
